[QUOTE="Mark K 2, post: 1002234, member: 55685"] When Medicare started in 1965, the doctors were told to be honest and reasonable to avoid making it a bureaucratic mess. What happened? Doctors started admitting people five days before a tonsillectomy for "tests." They admitted people who simply wanted a break from home life for a week, even though there was no medical reason for admission. Well, we know how that turned out for the Medicare program. Hell... Our local hospital even doubled its inpatient unit to deal with the increased admissions (and later closed it down when the government started the DRG system). Bottom line: The doctors need some administrative oversight. My doctor sent me for a sinus CT for a sinus symptoms. The insurance company refused to pay it, stating that sinusitis is can be diagnosed using a standard sinus xray and patient symptoms. I had to come up with $2200 out of pocket. Without oversight, the docs are like kids in a candy store. [/QUOTE]
